dc.description.abstractThe recent success of a large-scale pilot project to collect fog-water in northern Chile, indicates that this is a resource that should be serioulsy examined for use in certain semi-arid and arid regions of the world. Fifty 48 m2 collectors at a site in Chile have produced an average of 7200 L of water per day during three drought years. This paper reviews the fog-water collection process and lists 47 arid locations in 22 countries on 6 continents where collection of fog-water by vegetation or artificial collectors has been documented. One of the most exciting aspects of this resource is that in many regions the supply of water will be limited only by the number of collectors one chooses to install. In addition, since the source of the fog is normally the movement of marine stratocumulus decks over coastal mountains, the water quality is good and the water can be used for drinking and for other domestic and agricultural purposes.
